Dear Gaurav, Don't get confused with varied views of others. Please consult an allopathy doctor for your mental problems. Discuss with him about the side effects expected and what you actually experience. Then take your own decision. Many medicines are given by mouth. They reach blood through digestive system. The blood circulates all over the body though we want the medicine to act on the brain. Doctors balance the benefit of the medicine with the harm of disease and side effects. All the side effects are not felt by all the persons who take. Some medicines give side effect only in a particular dose. Some medicine give side effect only along with other medicines and food. Mental illnesses are treated with various group of medicines. Sedatives are only a small group in them.

Hello Lybrate user, I will try to answer all your questions in a stepwise manner- a. Any medicine can have side effects, however newer scientific development has made medication with few to negligible side effects. And the medicines prescribed have clear benefits which outweigh the risks by leaps mostly. B. Allopathy is a very well researched branch of medicine, and people who say do not use allopathy are biased or have had negative effects which are rather unitary, and the opinion is a stilted or biased one. Allopathy is a great scientific development, it is of immense benefit to mankind. It has helped control and also eradicate some of most fearsome diseases known to mankind. C. Medication given for mental health are not just sleeping pills, that is a big myth. Many different classes of medication are available for various disorders. D. Psychiatric medication are highly effective, if used in a proper manner under medical and psychiatrist supervision. It is a proven fact, without much doubt. Hope I have answered your queries. Best wishes for your health and future.
